I don't know if the rolls are necessarily essential to the Thanksgiving feast but they are a must have for sandwiches afterward (hopefully with my mom's homemade hot German mustard). I think much of my family sees the meal as something to get through to get to the leftover sandwiches!

I found my kitchen hardware at Hobby Lobby on clearance and ended up only spending 40 cents per knob. I did have to drive around to a few stores to get enough of them but it was well worth it!

My grandparents' house always fascinated me when growing up and my parents now live there and I still love it! It is a remodeled old farmhouse so it has great sloping walls in the upstairs and some funky closets that made great play areas. I also really love the library and niches designed for some special statuary.
Some friends of my parents lived in a house that had a mother-in-law suite, which I thought was the coolest thing ever! I don't think they even used it but I was enamored.
One of my best friends had one of those bunk beds that has a larger mattress on the bottom than the top and I was pretty jealous of that (but not the fact that she had to share a room with her brother).

I have these and they are fantastic! Actually my parents stockpile them as wedding gifts, along with their measuring spoons.
@farrahlarie - yes, they are very sturdy, I don't think there is any chance they would bend
@lazy_lurker - yes, they stack neatly

While there are many things in my house that I love, the main things I would take after making sure my cat was out are my camera & laptop and a chair that belonged to my great-great grandmother and was the chair my grandfather often sat in to read. It's not the nicest thing I own but it is definitely the most sentimental to me.

I have a similar counter in my house that I think was intended as a desk. There is only a doorway between mine and the kitchen so I use it as a bit of an extension of the kitchen - I have the microwave on the counter and the trashcan lives underneath the counter; those two things save me a ton of space in the actual kitchen area. I am going to add open shelves above the counter to help with storage of food because I don't have a real pantry.

I do this on my hair once or twice a week and I've noticed that it really seems to make my hair softer and easier to manage. I just keep a squirt bottle of ACV in the shower and spray down my wet hair with it and let it sit for a little while. It does leave a little bit of a vinegary scent behind, but not too bad - but I really like the smell of vinegar, so it doesn't bother me!

My 'home' food is different depending on the season also, but for fall it would be this roasted vegetable mixture that my mom makes, meatballs cooked in wine and apple crisp.
Wow, now I'm hungry...

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had was a BLT with fresh mozzarella melted on it. You should definitely give it a try!

Big Truck Tacos here in Oklahoma City makes a taco called the Crispy'cado with fried avocado, romaine, tomatillo salsa, pico de gallo & queso fresco - it is amazing!
